Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Dried Figs, ground Boiling water |
| ¾ | cup | Pistachios |
| 1½ | cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1 | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 4 | tablespoons | Margarine or butter |

Directions
In a medium-sized heat-proof bowl, combine the figs and pistachios, add boiling water and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 F.
Grease an 8-½" by 4-½" loaf pan. In medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightened. Add the dry ingredients and beat until just blended. With a spoon, blend in the fig mixture. Turn into the prepared pan and bake 1 to 1¼ hours, or until the bread just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, and the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on a rack for 15 minutes, and then turn out and cool completely. Wrap in plastic and store overnight before serving. Cut into thin slices.
